Biscuits with Brown Sugar:
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/8 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) cold Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 –3/4 cup Buttermilk
Strawberries:
- 1 pint of Fresh Strawberries (about 2 cups)
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup of very cold Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Cut the tops off the strawberries, and leave whole if they are small or cut in half or quarters if they are large. Place the strawberries in a large bowl and add the two Tbsp of granulated sugar and let sit while you make the biscuits.
- Make the Biscuits: Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup of flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp baking soda, 2 Tbsp light brown sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Cut the 1/2 stick of unsalted butter into thin slices and add to the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are pea sized. Add the buttermilk, starting with 1/2 cup. Divide the dough into four pieces and drop onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Make the Whipped Cream: Mix the cream and 2 Tbsp of granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Strawberry Shortcake: Cut the biscuits into cubes, place half the cubes in jars, add whipped cream, then strawberries. Repeat until jars are filled.
Notes
- If you want, you may use store bought cake instead of biscuits.
